People say me that #Kirchoff #EQ is great or even better than #FabFilter Pro-Q3 but...

Dynamic EQ is not a great tool for shaping transients as the filters are connected in series. This will result most "bending" transients as EQ points will interact and are interconnected. For shaping, band needs to be split into blocks, and this exactly what a multi-band compressor does.

This reduces the meaningful parameters to exactly one: dynamic range:

1. Define a dynamic range (in dB for an EQ point.
2. Figure out values for the parameters that keep it within that range.

So with the dynamic EQ below this would mean a manual tuning until you find some
values that seem to work, and depending on signal coming this could even mean automating those parameters, depending on how static the signal is. Also any change to the signal coming in would require re-adjusting them.

On the other hand, Pro-Q3 starts from the dynamic range as the input parameter, listens the signal and adjusts compressor parameters dynamically to stay within the range, without user intervention.

Not my cup of tea because the choice is between spending hours on it vs spending less than a minute figuring this all out 🤷
